Seven Severo is only 15 years old and kicked out of ten schools in the past three years. He has a positive attitude about everything, until a tragedy hits him and his mother. He gets comfort from an old friend, Cora Lennon, who is extremely naturally beautiful. She is going to his new school he starts a day after the tragedy, and she accidentally tells him something he wasn't supposed to be told. His life is changed, not necessarily in a good way either.
